AGA Clinical Practice Update on Risk Stratification for Colorectal Cancer Screening and Post-Polypectomy Surveillance: Expert Review.

BEST PRACTICE ADVICE 8: The decision to continue post-polypectomy surveillance for individuals older than 75 years should be individualized, based on an assessment of risks, benefits, and comorbidities. BEST PRACTICE ADVICE 9: Risk-stratification tools for CRC screening and post-polypectomy surveillance that emerge from research should be examined for real-world effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in diverse populations (eg, by race, ethnicity, sex, and other sociodemographic factors associated with disparities in CRC outcomes) before widespread implementation.

AGA Clinical Practice Update on the Epidemiology, Evaluation, and Management of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency: Expert Review.

BEST PRACTICE ADVICE 15: EPI should be monitored and baseline measurements of nutritional status should be obtained (body mass index, quality-of-life measure, and fat-soluble vitamin levels). A baseline dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan should be obtained and repeated every 1-2 years.

British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines for the diagnosis and management of cholangiocarcinoma.

Quality of evidence is presented using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) format. The recommendations arising are to be used as guidance rather than as a strict protocol-based reference, as the management of patients with CCA is often complex and always requires individual patient-centred considerations.

Antibiotic use as a risk factor for irritable bowel syndrome: Results from a nationwide, case-control study.

Compared to none, 1-2 (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.61-1.73) and =3 antibiotics dispensations (OR 3.36, 95% CI 3.24-3.49) were associated with increased odds of IBS (p for trend <0.001) regardless of the antibiotic class. Prior antibiotics use was associated with an increased odds of IBS with the highest risk among people with multiple antibiotics dispensations.

A Study of Dietary Patterns Derived by Cluster Analysis and their Association with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Severity among Hispanic Patients.

Given the importance of sociocultural influences on diet, it is important to understand dietary patterns prevalent among Hispanic patients with NAFLD. Using cluster analysis, we identified one plant-based versus a distinct fast-food/meat-based pattern associated with detrimental effects among our population. This information is an important starting point for tailoring dietary interventions for Hispanic patients with NAFLD.

Effects of GLP-1 and Other Gut Hormone Receptors on the Gastrointestinal Tract and Implications in Clinical Practice.

Multiple studies reviewed in this article document the diverse effects of these drugs on the GLP-1 receptors that are widely expressed in the human body, including the nervous system modulating appetite, the gastrointestinal tract modifying gastric emptying, and lipid metabolism regulation leading to reduction in fat deposition. The objective of this review is to summarize the mechanism of action of incretin receptor agonists, their effects in the gastrointestinal tract, and implications in clinical practice, particularly in the practice of gastroenterology, endoscopy, and surgery.

Poor subjective sleep quality predicts symptoms in Irritable Bowel Syndrome using the Experience Sampling Method.

Poor subjective sleep quality was associated with higher next day lower GI symptom levels, but not vice versa. Objective sleep measures did not predict next day abdominal symptoms, potentially supporting the conclusion that it is the perception of sleep quality which is most influential. This study may be used to guide future research into the effect of sleep interventions on GI symptoms.

Prognostic value of the modified Rutgeerts' score for long-term outcomes after primary ileocecal resection in Crohn's disease.

The increasing mRS corresponds closely with the risk for surgical and clinical recurrence. An index mRS = i2b is associated with surgical recurrence, an index mRS = i1 is associated with clinical recurrence and i1 or i2b with progression to severe endoscopic recurrence. These results support tight monitoring of disease activity and treatment optimization in patients with ileal lesions, and a more conservative management in patients with anastomotic lesions.

HBV DNA AND HBSAG LEVELS AT 24 WEEKS OFF-TREATMENT PREDICT CLINICAL RELAPSE AND HBSAG LOSS IN HBEAG NEGATIVE PATIENTS WHO DISCONTINUED ANTIVIRAL THERAPY.

Among HBeAg negative CHB patients who discontinued antiviral therapy and who did not experience clinical relapse before FU W24, serum levels of HBV DNA and HBsAg at FU W24 can be used to predict subsequent clinical relapse and HBsAg clearance. A combination of HBsAg <100 IU/mL with HBV DNA <100 IU/mL identifies patients with a low risk of relapse and excellent chances of HBsAg loss, and could potentially be used as an early surrogate endpoint for studies aiming at finite therapy in HBV.

Disruption of CerS6-mediated sphingolipid metabolism by FTO deficiency aggravates ulcerative colitis.

FTO downregulation promoted UC by decreasing CerS6 expression, leading to increased S1P accumulation in IECs and aggravating colitis via m 6 A-dependent mechanisms. Lower FTO expression in UC patients may enhance their response to vedolizumab treatment.

Immunosuppressive CD29+ Treg accumulation in the liver in mice on checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

We identified IL2 as a critical modulator of both CD29+ and CD29- hepatic Tregs, but expansion of the liver Treg population with aPD-1 driven by CD29+ Tregs was in part IL2-independent. We propose that CD29+ Tregs constitute a unique subpopulation of hepatic Tregs that are primed to respond to ICI agents and mediate resistance.

Interplay between diet, circulating indolepropionate concentrations and cardiometabolic health in US populations.

Specific microbial species and dietary fibre jointly predicted significantly higher circulating IPA concentrations at higher tryptophan intake. Dietary and plasma tryptophan, as well as its kynurenine pathway metabolites, demonstrated divergent associations from those for IPA, which was significantly predictive of lower risk of T2D.

Physiologic changes in the hepatopulmonary syndrome before and after liver transplant: A longitudinal and predictor analysis.

We present the largest and longest longitudinal data analysis in HPS. In addition to rates of physiological decline and improvement before and after liver transplantation, we present novel predictors of PaO2 decline and improvement rates. Our findings enhance understanding of the natural history of HPS and provide pathophysiologic clues. Importantly, they may assist providers in prognostication and prioritization before and after transplant.
